rakish Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) So I looked at 16 year olds for the first time. The old system I could do everybody, which was good, new system, not so good (I'm taking some data from here, some data from there, very slow). So I only did 10. Wright didn't play in a league that I grade at 16, but his 15 numbers are really good. Everyone else was well below where I expected. Yurov was 25th among the admittedly random group of 16 year olds I have scored. He sits with a lot of 8th overalls, Rossi's at 23rd, Cozens' at 24th, Newhook's at 26th. Savoie's at 39th, Kemell's at 41st, Cooley's at 42nd, Lambert's at 44th, Slafkovsky's at 80th, Miro... at 88th. Korchinski is 23rd among defensemen, and I haven't graded many defensemen. I expect a few guys to have really great DY years (Kemell looks to be having a great start), but the DY-1 was really weak.

Lambert stuck on 1 point on the season. Kemell has 7 goals and 11 points in his 9 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Nothing in McKenzie’s highlight videos of Wright had me thinking “wow.” It was mostly video of him shooting wristers at inferior goalies and he does seem to have an accurate shot. But I didn’t see blazing speed, puck handling in a phone booth, or amazing passes. Not saying he doesn’t possess that ability and I haven’t seen the kid play at all, but that McKenzie breakdown did little to impress me.

If you are looking at highlight packages to judge how good a player is then you are doing it all wrong. Remember Wright didn’t play hockey at all last year until the Under 18s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Wright didn’t play hockey at all last year until the Under 18s. I totally agree and I’m not looking to judge any player based on highlight reels. That simply cannot be done. I’m only saying the highlights that McKenzie showed didn’t show me much other than a nice wrist shot. There’s usually a great handle, pass, or fast, fancy skating when they talk about great forwards projected to go #1 and I didn’t see any of that. Those particular highlights left me underwhelmed is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, In the past 60 years, there have been 6 truly generational talents (& 3 of those significantly overlapped): Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux, Hasek, Crosby, & McDavid. Everyone else in the discussion was merely elite. YMMV. If Wright is Bergeron, that's elite, not generational. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen him play? I haven’t unfortunately. Lambert seems to be missing most games now. I’m assuming he’s been a healthy scratch.

Very skilled RW without a ton of size. The numbers are Bananas so far in a good pro men’s league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
